Steven H. (sehamilton) from BIRMINGHAM, AL Reviewed on 3/22/2012...

Well acted w/likable characters for the most part. Difficult to feel any sympathy for Patrick Wilson's character. Once again, the Christian is portrayed as a fundamentalist, homophobic caricature worthy of contempt and ridicule. Another man loses his faith by the end of the film. The non-believer demonstrates he is more ethical and moral than the believer. Although the liner notes make the film sound like a faith-based story, it is ulimately only a highly critical swipe at religious "straw men". Anyone with a strong fundamentalist or evangelical persuasion might want to avoid this one.
